9:15AM We're on the ground in Cupertino, waiting outside for the big show to start. Hang tight, we'll be heading to our seats momentarily!

11:04AM "Now as I said before, 3.0 brings a lot of new features for devs, but for customers as well... starting... with cut, copy, and paste." Big cheers.

11:08AM It also copies HTML. Shake to undo. Clever.

FINALLY!

Nothing good so far...

When did Apple become such a money grubbing company? Pretty much everything they've revealed so far is intended to make you spend more and more money.

I know. It's pathetic. I've seen nothing worthwhile at all.

So far, instead of it actually being about the OS.. it's about more ways to spend money.

You guys don't like push notification? I was thrilled.

I'm excited about Push Notification, but that's about is so far. Even then, it's not a real Push Notification. To save battery life it's pushed to an Apple server and then to the phone, so basically it seems like it's not actually Push. Still better than Fetch, but I don't think it's the same thing as what most people wanted.

I'm watching the Gizmodo liveblog, and they just said "They're inviting up Dr. Wang on stage to talk. Wang is an assistant professor at Stanford.", and I immediately thought "[email protected] on iPhone?!" XD

Edit: But alas, it's a game ._. How would [email protected] work on a phone anyway?! XD

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

And WHY are there no RTS games on the iPhone? FPS games don't work. Cube's controls are horrible, and even Doom's controls are annoying. I have AOEII on my Samsung phone, why can't I have it on my iPod Touch?

You can't honestly believe that would happen do you?

I don't care, as long as we both saw it and were excited about it

If you don't run a company to get people to spend more and more money on your products... Then I guess we know why you're not in business.

Come on, give us MMS... I don't use it but it's annoying when my friends send me stuff and it makes me log into a website to see it...

You guys are very annoying. Complain complain complain. If you have something mean to say make a thread about it. Don't post it up here and waste time for people that actually like it and want to read the Positive post

Sigh...

Why is it that whenever I bring this topic up there is always someone (usually more) that thinks its ok for a company to try and nickel and dime you for every little thing you do.

There's more than I expected so far. CoreLocation allowing turn-by-turn navigation apps, the push system finally got finished, VOIP apps, copy/paste, the ability to control peripheral devices...

Good update

I created this thread. I can post about whatever I want because I created this thread and I have my own opinion and can post how I feel about the matter.

Leave my thread if this is how you're going to act.

At the time of posting, there was nothing worthwhile. We have every right to express our opinions.
